Red brick walls laid in Flemish bond with yellow brick string courses. Camber-headed window openings with moulded yellow terracotta lintels, cut limestone sills and uPVC windows throughout. Round-headed door openings with moulded yellow terracotta archivolts and imposts, limestone steps and replacement doors having overlights. Wrought-iron pedestrian gates and red brick boundary wall with cut limestone coping to front.
Appraisal
This attractive terrace retains many original details such as the fishscale pattern terracotta gable detailing and moulded window and door voussoirs. These features along with the red brick walls create textural variation. Despite alterations and loss of some materials, the original character of the terrace remains. The fine railings and gates add to both its setting and to the streetscape.
